A fun weekend at the anÂ­nual Panorama Pro-West RoÂ­deo in Colville nearly turned to tragÂ­edy last Saturday afterÂ­noon when a pick-up man was injured in the Northeast Washington rodeo arena.
Bo Segerman, 21, was purÂ­suing a rough stock bucking horse to corral it back into the pen when the horse somehow got behind his own mount and caused it to trip, throwing Segerman and rolling over him in the process.
Segerman, who works for stock contractor, Gold Buckle Rodeo Company, was knocked unconscious.

The 72nd annual Panorama Rodeo made its two-day run at the Northeast Washington Fairgroundsâ€™ rodeo arena last Friday night and Saturday afternoon. The two Pro-West Rodeo shows drew solid crowds, who watched Kelly Bowcuttâ€™s Gold Buckle Rodeo Company stock more than hold its own against circuit cowboys. One of the highlights of the weekend were performances by Colvilleâ€™s own Tough Enough Equestrian Drill Team. Photos courtesy of Chris Cowbrough.

Several years ago, Michelle Chingâ€™s college experience wasnâ€™t that different from milÂ¬lions of other young adults across the country---the 2008 Colville graduate was trying to pay her own way by working nights as a cocktail waitress while attending school full-time. She also took occasional work as a lifeguard at a water park on Oahu, studying fashion design during the day at University of Hawaii.
But the long nights began to take their toll on Chingâ€™s studies, and most importantly, her health.
